So the filled cylinders seem best represented by Products (Finished goods material type FERT). Each size as a different FG. The cylinder itself can be returnable packaging (material type LEIH). SAP Process: https://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/ 00/eac353b677b44ce10000000a174cb4/frameset.htm
Operations filling the cylinders on Production Orders. Consumption through the Production Orders. Setup the production BOMs for each FG material to consume the calculated quantity from the storage tank. Actual consumption can come from auto calculation based on the production quantity (filled cylinders) or can be a Goods Issue to the Order based on a measured consumption.

Subject: Inventory Management of LPG in SAP MM
Hi,
Following is a brief summary of our query regarding inventory management of LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) with SAP MM module.
1. Company 'A' has five storage plants with LPG storage tanks and warehouses.
2. Company 'A' procures LPG from local vendors and also thru import.
3. LPG is procured in Metric Tons (MTO) and stored in bulk tanks located at different Plants (also in MTO).
3. LPG is also stored in Cylinders of various sizes (11.8,45.4,30,2,6,18,9.786), the unit of measurement in this case is KG.
4. Cylinders are procured as Asset and is treated as a returnable item from customers. Furthermore, stock of filled and empty cylinders is maintained and monitored at various Plants.
5. There are two types of customers i.e Retail (dealers and individuals) and Bulk (commercial customers)
6. Retails sales is made thru cylinders in KGs
7. Bulk sales is made in MTO & Litres
Following are the formulas for conversion of LPG quantities in different UOMs
a. Tons to Liters -> (qty*1000)/0.564
b. Liters to Ton -> (qty*0.564)/1000
c. Cyls to Tons -> (qty*weight of cyls)/1000, for example: (qty*11.8)/1000
Would certainly appreciate if someone guide me how to configure LPG inventory management and its conversion to different UOMs and containers (empty and filled cylinders).
Regards,
AAK |
